Interesting Move: Jessie Liu, who failed to prosecute the Awans and McCabe, has been removed from the DOJ and replaced with Barr’s staff attorney…
January 30, 2020
For the Awan case, Jessie Liu supposedly couldn't find anything to prosecute him with, concluding that there was "no evidence" the Awans illegally removed House data from their networks, stole servers, and other sensitive info. As for McCabe - according to WAPO - Jessie has left McCabe in limbo about whether any criminal charges will be brought against him in a straight-forward case. There was also no good explanation as to why she allowed the case to linger for so long. She also seems to be going back to the Treasury department where she was originally prior to being nominated as US attorney in DC.
